Dembélé's trick shot victory over Paris Saint-Germain gave Norway an unexpected result

During the World Cup qualifying stage, the match between the national teams of France and Norway ended with an unexpected result, reported Zamin.uz.
While many expected a duel between Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele stole the spotlight. His brilliant performance in the first half and a quick hat-trick secured victory for "Les Bleus."
This is reported by Goal.com. According to Goal.com, despite having the opportunity to field a strong lineup, Norway's coach Stale Solbakken made significant rotations, even though he could have played for advancement.
The absence of key stars Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard on the bench proved costly for the Scandinavians, while France increased pressure from the opening minutes.
Dembele's 32nd-minute goal came just after the 6th minute, when Kylian Mbappe delivered a pass that Ousmane Dembele converted into a goal. The striker left the opposing defender behind with a beautiful move and placed the ball precisely into the far corner.
Not long after, Mbappe provided another assist, and Dembele struck from outside the penalty area to make it 2:0. Norway managed to reduce the deficit through a goal by Thelo Aasgard, reigniting hopes of a comeback.
However, Dembele completed his hat-trick before halftime, scoring his third goal. Left unmarked inside the penalty area, he placed a precise low shot with his left foot into the bottom corner.
Early in the second half, Norway had a chance to narrow the gap. Theo Hernandez was penalized for a foul inside his own box, and the referee awarded a penalty.
But goalkeeper Mike Maignan saved Jorgen Strand Larsen's effort, keeping his team's lead intact. This moment had a lasting impact on the rest of the match.
As the game neared its end, young talent Desire Doue headed in to seal the final score. This victory gave France the opportunity to solidify first place in Group J.
Norway, meanwhile, dropped crucial points by leaving their key players on the bench. For Uzbek football fans, this match once again highlighted the balance of power in European football.
Moreover, Ousmane Dembele's consistent performances and growing understanding with Kylian Mbappe suggest that he could become a key figure for the French national team in upcoming tournaments.
